Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to cosmetic pigments, their production method, and cosmetics containing the cosmetic pigments, which cosmetic pigments are suitable to be contained in makeup products such as foundations, eyeshadow and lipsticks or basic skin care such as sunscreen products, emulsions and creams.
BACKGROUND ART
Conventionally, pigments whose surfaces are coated with various types of compounds have been used as pigments to be contained in makeup products such as foundations, eyeshadow and blushers or basic skin care such as sunscreen products, emulsions and creams with a view to improve waterproofness and avoid coming off of makeup or to improve feeling of the pigments and so forth.
Here, coating pigment surfaces with a silicone compound or a fluorine compound has been known as a means of improving the waterproofness (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). Cosmetic pigments whose surfaces are coated with the silicone compound or fluorine compound excel in avoiding coming off of makeup and contribute to long-lasting makeup because waterproofness is imparted to them. However, there are some problems that they give a dried out and less moist feeling owing to the compounds, and skin adhesion becomes poor because they have less affinity to a biological body.
Meanwhile, coating pigment surfaces with collagen has been known as a means of improving feeling of the pigments (see Patent Document 3). However, since the collagen is an animal protein, there is a limit in the use of it, which is a problem.
Recently, due to the increasing popularity of natural products among consumers, cosmetics using compounds derived from natural products are greatly desired, and development of cosmetics which are human-body friendly having good skin adhesion and which provide good feeling are strongly desired.
Surfactants (biosurfactants) such as glucolipids are said to have great biodegradability and low toxicity and they are environmentally-friendly. Therefore, applying them to a food industry, cosmetic industry, drug industry, chemical industry, environmental field etc. has been considered. However, existing biosurfactants have poor hydrophobicity, so that they are not suitable for cosmetic pigments. Meanwhile, although mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL) has been known, for use in skin care, as having curative properties against skin roughness because it can easily form a lamellar structure, there has been no report that it is used as cosmetic pigments.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
The present invention is made in view of the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide cosmetic pigments that are human-body friendly with good skin adhesion and that provide good feeling, their production method, and cosmetics containing such cosmetic pigments which provide fresh and enriched feeling accordingly.
Means of Solving the Problems
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention tries to obtain novel functional pigments and cosmetics by coating pigment surfaces with mannosylerythritol lipid, i.e., glucolipids produced by yeasts etc., that is derived from olive oil and the like.
In summary, the first invention is directed to cosmetic pigments whose surfaces are coated with mannosylerythritol lipid, which is glucolipids, consisting of mannose, sugar alcohol and a fatty acid as shown in the general expression (1) below:
Figure US09181436-20151110-C00002
(Note: In the general expression, R1 and R2 denote aliphatic acyl group with carbon numbers 6 through 20, which can be either same or different. R3 and R4 denote hydrogen or acetyl group, which can be either same or different. n denotes an integer in the range of 2 to 4.)
The second invention is directed to a method of producing the cosmetic pigments characterized in that the pigment surfaces are coated with mannosylerythritol lipid shown in the above general expression (1) by dissolving or dispersing mannosylerythritol lipid in an organic solvent, agitatedly mixing the compound liquid with the pigments, then removing the organic solvent.
The third invention is directed to cosmetics containing the cosmetic pigments according to the first invention. In the fourth invention, cosmetics according to the third invention are either one of powder foundations, water-in-oil foundations, water-in-oil sunscreens or lip primers.
Effect of the Invention
Since mannosylerythritol lipid according to the first and second inventions is derived from natural products such as olive oil and soy oil, it is safe to a human body. In addition, since mannosylerythritol lipid for coating the surfaces of the pigments is an amphipathic compound having both hydrophobicity deriving from lipid property and hydrophilicity deriving from a property of sugar, it has a structure similar to a ceramide that constitutes the sebum membrane of a human. Although conventional biosurfactants are not suitable for cosmetic pigments as they have poor hydrophobicity, mannosylerythritol lipid according to the present invention can provide pigments with water-resistant property so that the conventional problem can be solved. Cosmetic pigments with good skin adhesion which also provide fresh and enriched feeling and excel in stability of such effects can be thus obtained.
Also, since the cosmetics according to the third and fourth inventions contain the cosmetic pigments according to the first invention, they have excellent skin adhesion and skin affinity and ensure the high-safeness. In addition, thanks to the hydrophobicity effect deriving from the lipid property, it becomes possible to provide the pigments with the water-resistant property, which contributes to long-lasting makeup. Furthermore, because of a moisturizing effect of the hydrophilicity deriving from the property of sugar, cosmetics with fresh and enriched feeling can be obtained.
